MR6150 firmware 12.01.29.00 review Glorified MR1100 LTE
For the past 5 days I have been reviewing the upcoming MR6150 12.01.29.00 firmware (not sure if this is final or beta) With T mobile service The MR6150 never connect to 5G service in fact it keep falling into LTE and speed barely reach 100. This happens in 3 different cities and states.basically it becomes an overprice MR 1100.
Current firmware 10.04.22.00 it will connect to 5g service and the speed range between 300-500 with the same sim card from T-mobile. again this is tested in 3 different cities and states. It does have quirk the modem wont stay on over 2 days. it will either turn off or rebooting. So make sure you have battery inside.
.
So if you like the speed AVOID the update until they fix it, cause you have no recourse to downgrade . But if you want stability BUY MR1100 instead which is known for stability and affordability 🙂

Hey, reaching out
By any chance do you have the 10.04.22.00 firmware file downloaded for the mr6150.
Accidentally updated and lost the 5gNR functionality, 12.01.31.00 feels like a downgrade on the software update
I am also looking for the old firmware 10.04.22.00
Netgear T1, T2, and T3 refuse to send me a copy.
Netgear refuses to allow me to choose what software runs
after every update I am only allowed to stay on the latest version
even if that update results in total system failure.has anyone been able to download the previous firmware version? I'm in the same boat as you guys are.

- Unfortunately I am still waiting on vendor support to send over the original firmware file that came with my purchased device. As soon as I receive the .spk file I and many others have requested, I will send a copy of my .json file.
I personally see no reason netgear cant boot up two different devices with different firmware or look at their raw code libraries to determine a fix.
No idea why it falls on the customers to work on the failed update that got rolled out.
